I have an elderly friend using one of these machines and I've just installed LinuxMint for her. She was using WindowsXP and the machine was taking nigh on 4 minutes to boot. Mint was installed in the hope that this would cure the problem. Alas! it is still a four minute boot time.

Following the advice of the helpful members on linux-thinkpad, I did a dmesg from the terminal. The output looks like this:

---------------------------------------------------------- Deciphering the result of the dmesg command, is beyond my level of competence, so I seek your assistance to point out any errors which could lead to a slow boot time., and what I can do about them.As a matter of interest, the machine is a 2.53GHz. although I do not know the model number.

Another option could be to use squirrelmail if you want to setup a web server on the slug. I've done that in the past also, but prefer the imap over ssh setup.

I have set up my Slug (SlugOs 4.8) as an imap mail server with fetchmail, imap and procmail. Mail can be accessed from the LAN.

I need to access my mail from the internet as well. What is the best sollution: i. set up the imap server to receive connections from the internet or ii. use a mail client like mutt running on the slug through an ssh connection

In the second case, should I use the imap capabilities of mutt (or other mail client) or should access the mailboxes locally? Will this create any problems for the other pcs accessing with imap?
